Aqmen - AM5036S - Sutures AM5036S AqSilk Mersilk Type USP 2-0-12 Foils

The Aqmen AM5036S is a surgical suture designed for wound closure and approximation. It is constructed from braided natural silk, a non-absorbable material, providing permanent wound support. The suture is dyed black for enhanced visibility during surgical procedures.

Each unit contains a 35 cm length of suture material, precisely engineered for consistent handling and knot security. This product is presented in a sterile format, suitable for immediate use in a clinical setting. The suture is classified according to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standard as 2-0, indicating its diameter and tensile strength.

The material's braided structure contributes to its pliability and ease of manipulation by surgical professionals. Its non-absorbable nature means it will remain in situ indefinitely, making it appropriate for applications where long-term tissue support is required.

The AM5036S suture functions by mechanically holding tissue edges together, facilitating the healing process. The braided silk construction allows for secure knot tying, minimizing the risk of slippage post-application. The black coloration aids in distinguishing the suture from surrounding tissues, particularly in complex surgical fields or under varying lighting conditions.

The inherent strength of silk, combined with its smooth passage through tissue, helps to reduce trauma during suturing. The non-absorbable characteristic ensures that the suture's structural integrity is maintained over time, providing sustained support to the approximated tissues until they have achieved sufficient healing or structural stability.

Key features of the Aqmen AM5036S include its construction from natural silk, offering a balance of strength and flexibility. The non-absorbable property ensures long-term tissue support, a critical factor in certain surgical interventions. The black color enhances visibility, aiding in precise placement and removal.

The suture is supplied with a 45 mm, 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle, which is designed for efficient penetration of tough tissues. The reverse cutting needle geometry is beneficial for suturing dense tissues where a sharper point is advantageous. Each box contains 12 individually foil-wrapped sterile units, ensuring product integrity and sterility until the point of use.

The 35 cm suture length is a standard measurement suitable for a wide range of surgical applications.

This surgical suture is intended for use by qualified medical professionals, including surgeons, physicians, and surgical nurses, in various medical and surgical settings. It is suitable for both human and veterinary surgical procedures. Typical applications include the closure of skin incisions, approximation of fascial layers, and ligation of vessels where permanent or long-term support is indicated.

It can be employed in general surgery, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, and other specialties requiring reliable and durable wound closure. The non-absorbable nature makes it particularly useful in situations where the suture may need to be removed at a later stage, or where it is intended to remain as a permanent implant.

Important usage notes for the Aqmen AM5036S include ensuring the sterile packaging is intact before use. The suture and needle should be handled with appropriate sterile surgical instruments. Care should be taken during knot tying to achieve secure knots without excessive tension, which could lead to tissue damage.

While silk is generally well-tolerated, awareness of potential tissue reactions in sensitive individuals is advised. The non-absorbable nature means that if removal is desired, it must be performed manually by a healthcare professional. The specific USP size (2-0) and needle configuration (3/8 circle reverse cutting, 45 mm) should be selected based on the specific surgical requirements of the procedure and the tissue type being sutured.

The product is intended for single use only.
